Penalty
Enforcement through written directives and court orders under A.R.S. § 36-789; violation of an article-4 measure or a board-of-health order is a class 3 misdemeanor (A.R.S. § 36-630, Ex. DUT-AZ-004); good-faith participation in quarantine or isolation procedures is immunized (A.R.S. § 36-790(B))
What it required
Authorized ADHS and local health authorities, during the declared emergency, to require isolation or quarantine of infected or exposed persons 'by the least restrictive means necessary to protect the public health' and bound those persons, and persons entering the premises, to comply.
Retrieval noteThe statutory footing for the exclusion of infected and exposed employees from the workplace: the CDC isolation and quarantine guidance that EO 2020-36 para. 5 and EO 2020-40 para. 3 required every employer's policies to adopt (Exs. AZ-019, AZ-020) operated on persons whom this section bound to comply with health-authority orders. EO 2020-40 para. 1 ordered ADHS to 'implement a consistent, statewide system for case investigation and contact tracing' (Ex. AZ-020).
